Shittu has been linked

SHEFFIELD UNITED manager Kevin Blackwell is ready to scrap rival clubs Ipswich, Barnsley and Colchester for Bolton's Danny Shittu on loan. (The Sun)

 

Be a top signing if we could get him. nt

 

excellent at set pieces(corners) and a good strong defender,good signing if true. nt

 

That would be a great capture. Unfortunately if pot knob wants him then that's where he'll probably end up.

 

Agree he is good at set pieces

And we peobably need that.

But we need pace at the back as much as we need a man mountain.

Didnt KO outclass him away season before last?

 

He also scored 2 Vs. Us at Oakwell 2 years ago.

2 bullet headers, they were top of the league then. Beat them 3-2.

 

Agree Scott, I think it just shows how weak we are

When we have to look at stregthening all areas of defence.

Is ONeil Thompson gonna get a go at the back?

Didnt go to Watford, so not seem too much of him competitively.

 

RE: Agree Scott, I think it just shows how weak we are

Didn't go to Watford on Saturday but he played in a DM Midfield role.

Sounds like he had a shocker, totally out of the game, couldn't get involved.

Got brought off after 20 minutes.

Colace played the sitting role last night and played all of the game, was poor in the first half. Got booked straight away and i was adamant he'd get sent off.

Played much better in the second half though, got involved more. It's Hugo's shirt to lose.

If we pull that off it will be a great boost for us (Y) (Y) (Y)

 

What about a CB with pace though

a la Fleming / appleby

 

it was Leigh Bromby KO destroyed nt

 

it was leigh bromby he destroyed nt

 

Shittu was CB that night too

 

yeah but it was bromby marking him

went to the game with Kozzy (my hudds supporting mate who is best mates with Bromby). we were in the players lounge after the game and he said that he'd had a major fecking off his manager as KO just kept brushing him aside and he had the job of picking up

 

Cant Agrue with that lol

I was there as its quite local for me (in the sarf)

But its a while ago, just remember Shittu playing and wasnt too impressed, but guess they had an off night

I do remember that Jon Jo O Toole being good though, if thats what he is called.

Dont hear much of him since he went to Swineland

 

RE: Cant Agrue with that lol

yeah it does seem to have gone quiet on that front. Shittu seemed a good buy for rangers a few years back but his fall from grace worries me a bit
